No , I wont be purchasing , yes easy for me to do the gold plated swap out, will let you know whenever, no rush though , thanks for the heads up on the Viborg silver plated option , I will have a look.
Follow Ups:
Understood | as I'm hesitant myself on going said route of anything hybrid based, I'll stick with the Accuphase as my sole copper based power cord | as well as the Greg Knight, but will be purchasing both a Viborg rhodium plated copper male | stablemate gold plated copper female by week's end.
If nothing else at least they'll be here as you say " should the mood strikes me to try something different? ". And I once again believe what I was told in private by 3 manufacturer's of power plugs whom all mentioned to me in their letters, that they both much prefer silver plated copper plugs over rhodium or gold plated versions, of which I count myself now amongst its proponents, call it what one likes, I'm a believer in what's heard, not written on paper.
It merely seems to offer the very very of all worlds | in a more effortless manner, where nothing pops out at you until the recording calls for it...-, the overall scale | balance are off the charts, YMMV?. " BUT ", what if I'm ( there were ) right?. It's worth knowing if for no other reason than to simply know the truth.
Yes, and I do have two Accuphase cords with silver, and adore them too, so I guess I will be trying the silver plated Viborg ones then in the Viborg plastic casings and swap them out to the Accuphase, anyway the Xangsane rhodium ones I have will go to the subwoofer and a linear power supply.
To recap Viborg silver plated plug and unplated copper iec connectors.
I may just order another Accuphase pc and that's me done in this department too.
Tangram,The thing to take into account is I'm using mine like Judith did in more of a hybrid form using two different brands | said Viborg VM503S silver plated copper ac male alongside a Monosaudio F101 copper iec female, so basically it's taking the different plating flavors of each brand ( model ) and offers a sound which isn't therefore struck in the camp ( house sound ) of either brand, yet collectively offers a very very very balanced presentation.
So as I stands, I'm only looking to buy a Vanguard FI-60M carbon fiber | silver plated copper male, as well as sample one of the Viborg VF503G or Monosaudio F101G gold plated copper female plugs, for the sake of knowing that I didn't overlook any other possibility?. As usual I tend to browse between eBay or AliExpress were I'm able to buy what's needed individually as opposed to being forced to buy a set as seems to be the norm on Amazon.
I've about 3 different brands of rhodium plated copper males just sitting here unused as the result of allowing the silver plated one to settle in on its own, and can't fantom going in any other direction anytime in the foreseeable future.
Logically I tend to once again gravitate towards the plugs made by both Viborg | Monosaudio ( sister companies ) as I was told by those guys that make connectors both actually use pure copper as the base metal on their plugs, whereas some Chinese makes are suspect | as I'm not one of you more daring or technical types, I don't feel comfortable filing down the uppermost plating to know what lies underneath.
I'm chewing on the thought of adding some rhodium plated copper solderless RCA connectors onto one or both pairs of the Xangsane IC's, and stopping there.
